Green City Villa was a famous residential area in Jiang City.
Not only did it boast a beautiful river view, but it also featured extensive landscaping.
The beautiful CEO’s destination was none other than this very Green City Villa.
When the box truck arrived at the villa, the BMW and the Audi were already there.
President Hu was eagerly bustling about, helping the beautiful CEO move her things.
The box truck backed directly into the yard.
Lin Jian knew he had to face the music one way or another, so he bit the bullet and got out of the vehicle.
However, he kept his head down the whole time, trying his best to avoid making eye contact with the gorgeous woman.
Fortunately, the great beauty didn’t look at him at all.
Instead, she walked to the villa’s front door and pulled it open to make it easier for everyone to carry things inside.
“President Ye, I think it’d be fine to just leave these flowers in the yard.
They can get watered by the rain and grow even better,” President Hu chuckled, pretending to put in effort as he carried a small box.
“No need.
They’ll only release oxygen ions if they’re kept indoors.”
While Ye Ziqiu was speaking, Lin Jian had already walked past her, carrying a pot of flowers.
However, the leaves and branches of the potted plant obscured his face, so the great beauty surprisingly didn’t notice him.
But just as he placed the flower pot in the living room and headed back out, she inadvertently caught a glimpse of his face.
Ye Ziqiu froze.
She thought, “Isn’t this…
isn’t this…
isn’t this that rascal who talked about playing poker?
Why…
why is he…
helping me move?
What is going on?”
At this time, Lin Jian hadn’t even had the chance to change into his security uniform yet, so his sudden appearance left the great beauty completely bewildered.
Knowing he could no longer hide, Lin Jian steeled his resolve, strode over to the door, and asked in a low voice, “Are you going to fire me?”
“What?” Ye Ziqiu was momentarily confused, not understanding what Lin Jian meant.
“I’m a security guard at your company now.
If you’re going to fire me, I’m not going to keep moving your things.
It’s pretty tiring.
So, are you firing me or not?”
Ye Ziqiu opened her mouth in surprise.
“You’re a security guard at my company?
You…”
“Lin Jian, what are you doing?
Come over here and help carry these!” By the box truck, the plump President Hu started urging him on, having noticed that the young man was actually standing at the door talking to President Ye.
However, Lin Jian didn’t listen to his orders.
Instead, he continued in a low voice, “It’s my first day at work today.
If you’re going to fire me, I’ll…”
Ye Ziqiu’s eyebrows shot up.
Without waiting for Lin Jian to finish, she scolded in a hushed voice, “Hurry up and move my things.
Why would I fire you?”
Her pretty face had already turned stern.
Lin Jian was taken aback for a moment and gave the great beauty an odd look.
The great beauty felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze, even subconsciously wondering, “Did I wear a low-cut top again?”
Fortunately, Lin Jian quickly looked away and eagerly trotted off to continue moving flower pots.
The great beauty kept a straight face for the rest of the process and didn’t speak another word.
She didn’t even spare Lin Jian a glance as he walked back and forth past her.
About seven or eight minutes later, everything was moved inside.
President Hu smiled and said, “President Ye, shall we head back now?”
“Yes, you can go back.
Thanks a lot,” Ye Ziqiu smiled and expressed her gratitude.
Lin Jian breathed a sigh of relief.
He thought, “Looks like I’m in the clear.
The great beauty isn’t holding a grudge.”
However, just as he was about to return to the box truck, the great beauty suddenly spoke up again.
“Oh, by the way, President Hu, you guys just dumped everything in the living room.
I can’t move those large flower pots by myself.
Leave him behind to help me arrange things.”
Ye Ziqiu pointed at Lin Jian with a sly smile.
“Sure thing.
We’ll leave Lin Jian here.
Just give me a call whenever he’s done helping you arrange things, and I’ll come pick him up.” President Hu was a shrewd veteran of the business world.
Although there was something fishy about Ye Ziqiu making Lin Jian stay behind, as a subordinate, he knew better than to ask unnecessary questions.
In the workplace, a single out-of-place remark could often offend someone.
Therefore, whatever the boss said, went.
Fatty Hu left with Liu Fei and the others, leaving Lin Jian all alone in the yard.
At first, Lin Jian was a bit bewildered, but once Fatty Hu and the others were gone, his courage immediately flared up.
He thought, “Isn’t the great beauty afraid that I’ll ‘play poker’ with her?
She actually dared to leave me behind?
She’s got some serious guts.”
Meanwhile, the great beauty was actually starting to regret her decision.
She had only made Lin Jian stay behind to teach him a lesson.
However, she had forgotten that this little security guard was very bold and quite a hooligan.
But since she had already kept him here, she decided to just go all in.
She refused to believe that this little security guard would actually dare to do anything to her.
So, keeping a straight face, she ordered, “Come inside and help me move the flower pots.”
Lin Jian didn’t say much and followed Ye Ziqiu into the living room.
Pointing at the largest potted plant, Ye Ziqiu said, “Help me move this to the second floor.
Follow me.”
The large flower pot contained a small dwarf tree.
Combined with the soil inside, it was exceptionally heavy and would be very strenuous for one person to move.
Naturally, to the current Lin Jian, this flower pot wasn’t heavy at all.
The great beauty led the way up the stairs, while Lin Jian followed closely behind, carrying the large pot!
However, just as they were about to reach the second floor, the great beauty suddenly stopped and muttered, “On second thought, I think this large potted plant would be best placed on the first floor.
There’s not enough room on the second floor.
Let’s just put it on the first floor.”
Saying this, she didn’t even look at Lin Jian as she turned around and walked back downstairs.
Lin Jian didn’t utter a word.
He thought, “Fine, we’ll put it wherever you say.
This big potted plant really does belong on the first floor anyway.”
He turned around and headed back down.
But…
Just as the great beauty reached the first floor and Lin Jian had just walked down, she stopped again.
“On second thought, let’s put it upstairs.
It releases oxygen ions, and being closer to it means I can absorb them better!”
“To hell with putting it upstairs!” Lin Jian flared up instantly.
This great beauty was clearly messing with him on purpose.
Taking two swift steps forward, Lin Jian shoved the heavy flower pot toward the great beauty’s arms just as she looked up in surprise.
As he tossed it, he snapped angrily, “Here, here, here.
You’ll get even more oxygen ions if you hold this pot yourself, since you’ll be even closer to it!”
With that, he suddenly let go!
Startled, the great beauty instinctively reached out to catch it.
But the flower pot was simply too heavy; she couldn’t hold onto it.
Seeing that the pot was about to crash to the floor, Lin Jian’s hands suddenly shot out and grabbed it again.
He fumed, “Heavy, isn’t it?
Then why the hell are you tormenting me?
You women are so petty.
So what if I acted like a jerk last night?
Didn’t I pay the price for it?
I got smashed with a brick, and it’s not like you didn’t see it.”
“It wasn’t me who smashed you with it.” Ye Ziqiu grimaced in grievance, then added angrily, “And when you were leaving, you even said you wanted to play…
play…
Did you think I was too stupid to understand what you meant?”
“COUGH, COUGH, COUGH…” Lin Jian coughed awkwardly a few times, finally averting his gaze.
After all, he was indeed the one in the wrong.
“Alright then, I apologize.” Lin Jian was not one to cling to his pride.
He set the large flower pot on the floor, bowed, and said, “President Ye, I’m sorry.”
This completely caught Ye Ziqiu off guard.
He had apologized to her, and he had indeed taken a brick to the head for her.
To be honest, after returning home last night, she had felt quite guilty and had worried about him for a long time.
However, at the mention of the brick, Ye Ziqiu cast an odd glance at the back of Lin Jian’s head.
Last night, she had seen it with her own eyes—there had been a large, gaping gash, and blood had been gushing out of it.
Why wasn’t his head bandaged today, and why wasn’t there a gash to be seen?
“Your head…
what’s going on there?
You were clearly injured yesterday,” she asked, pointing at the back of Lin Jian’s head.
“It’s nothing.
I just got a small cut yesterday.
I heal quickly, and I had some traditional herbal medicine at home.
I applied it overnight, and it’s already closed up.”
“Oh, that’s quite miraculous.”
Although Ye Ziqiu was highly skeptical of Lin Jian’s explanation, his hair was covering the area where the wound should be, and she was too embarrassed to go over and inspect it.
“Right, so is this flower pot going upstairs or downstairs?” Lin Jian asked, pointing at the flower pot by his feet.
